(GRANTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS 6F THE ACT GF MARCH. 3, 1921, 41 STAT. L.,y1313.)

To all 'whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN HAssnLBnRGER, a citizen of the Unitedy States,residing at East Hampton, in the county of Suffolk and State of NewYork, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in PaintingMachines, of which the following is a specification.

rlhis invention relates to painting machines. y f

An important object of the invention is to provide in a machine of theabove mentioned character a means whereby the paint may be evenlylvapplied to the surface of the object upon which the device as a wholeiS designed to be operated.

A further object of the invention is to provide in a device of the abovementioned character a means whereby the greatest area of surface may becoated with the least pos-- sible amount of paint but at the same timesupplying a suicient thickness of paint to materially preserve theobject designed to be coated with the paint.

A further object' of the invention is to provide a device of the abovementioned character which 4is simple .in construction, inexpensive tomanufacture, strong, durable, and reliable in operation.

Other objects and advantages of the in- Vvention will be apparent fromthe following description.

1n the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification andinl which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughoutthe same,

Figure -1 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view taken through themachine embodying` my invention, l

Figure 2 is a transverse vertical sectional view of the same takenonline-22 of Fig. 1, and n Figure 3 is a horizontal sectional view takenon the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Fig. 1 is a detail of the rocking means for the crank shaft.

ln the drawings wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown apreferred form of my inventionthe numeral 5 indicates a receptacleprovided with a top 7, a bottom 15 and ends 8 and 9.v rlhe receptacle 5is divided into compartments 16-16 by means of vertically disposed walls18. The compartments 16 are adapted to receive therein a quantity ofpaint as indicated in Figures 1 and 2.

16 with a plurality of openings indicated by the numerals 17. r1`heseopenings are adapted to be opened and closedeby means of valves 18vcarried by vertically disposed rods 19 movable in guides 19 carried bythe side walls of the compartment '16. Journaled in the side walls ofthese compara ments adjacent their upper ends are crank shafts 2O whichare operatively connected with the rods 19 by links 20.2 Connected withthe upper ends of the crank shafts 2O are forwardly extending,operatingrods 21. ln order to actuate the rods-21 there is provided a fingerengaging member 22 having its upper end pivotally supported in a bearing23 and its lower end engaged by and urged outwardly by a leaf spring 24attached to the wall 9. This member 22 is formed with a 'horizontallydisposed L- shaped extension 22 which 'is pivotally connected with therods 21 as at 241.

From the disclosure thus far given it follows that upon pressin themember 22 inwardly toward the wal 9 the L-'shaped extension 22 moving.upwardly in an arc of a circle will move the rods 21 longitudinally torock the crankshafts 2O which in turn lift the valves 18 from theopenings 17 to permit paint from the compartments 16 to dischargethrough the openings 17. Within the lower portion of the frame 6 whichsupo ports' the receptacle 5 there 'is provided a plurality ofhorizontally disposed bearing supports 10, 11 and 12. Between thebearing supports 11 there is journaled apair of paint receiving rollsindicated by the numerals 28 which are adapted to be fed with paintcarried within the receptacle 5 by means of angular disposed troughs orconduits indicated by the numerals 27 underlying the opening 17 andoverlying the rolls 28. These rolls are adapted to be driven by means ofsprocket chains 34C having engagement with the sprockets 85 .carryinghorizontally disposed shafts journaled within the lower portion of theframe 6 as shown l The bottom 15 ofthe receptacle i is provided withineach of the compartments in Figure 3. These shafts are provided with aplurality ofv rotating brushes 8.8, the facev of the endmost brushesbeing adapted to contact with horizontally [disposed wipers or brushes311 secured to the frame 6 and extending longitudinally throughout thelength of the same as clearly shown in F 1gure 3. These brushes areadapted to be driven or rotated by means of sprocket chains 34 having'engagement with the sprockets 35a carried by each of the horizontallydisposed shafts provided with brushes hereinbefore mentioned and alsohaving engagement with sprockets 35a carried by hori- Zontally disposedrotating shafts journaled within the frame 6 substantially intermediatethe brushes 33, the last named shafts being provided with a plurality ofdriving wheels 32 adapted to travel'over the surface of the object towhich the paint is desired to be applied. As illustrated in Figs. 2 and3 one'set of brushes 33 is in vertical alinement with the paintreceiving rolls 28 and the intermediate brush of this set isdirectlybelow these rolls 28 and serve asa paint applying brush.

Journaled in the bearing supports ll and disposed between the rolls 28and the paint applying brush is a relatively large paintr receiving roll30 'to which the paint from connected with the paint applying brush.

A lid 36 provided with a suitable locking key 37. is hingedly connectedto the'receptacle 5 and serves as a means to permit paint to be pouredinto the receptacle. This lid 36 together with the locking meansis'clearly shown in Figure l. A handle 25 is carried by the forward endof the ,casing 5 whereby i the machine is moved back and forth over thesurface to be painted or coated.

` As shown in Figs. l and 2 the rolls 28 are slightly inclined inopposite directions and are formed with spiral longitudinally eX-tending grooves or channels 28a. ln this connection it will be statedthat the rolls 28 are inclined justV enough to allovv'the paint to runthrough the grooves 28EL and thereby supply paint to the entire surfaceof the roll 30. Due to this slight inclination of the rolls 28 and therotation of the samethe centrifugal force will prevent any of the paintfrom being discharged from the ends of these rolls.

In'the operation of my machine the same is pulled back and forth overthe surface to be painted or coated by means of the handle 25 and thepaint being supplied to the intermediate or paint applying brush 33 willbe eventually applied to the surface. rlhe continued back and 4forth'movement of the machine will cause the endbrushes 33 to spread andevenly rubthe paint into the surface.
